The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture with rock outcrop. Depicted as an earthwork on Larkin’s 1808 map of Co. Westmeath (NLI, MS 46,580). Not depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map or the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1978 as no surface remains visible. There are some small rock outcroppings scattered across this field although they do not seem to form any coherent plan. Possible monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
